Our area of research is the study of molecular physics. We are interested in developing and applying theoretical and computational tools to describe the multielectron dynamics of molecular systems. Specifically, we study low energy electron and positron collisions with molecules as well as their photoionization and other photon-induced phenomena. We also develop the software employed to study these processes.
Entry requirements
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent). If you are not a UK citizen, you may need to prove your knowledge of English.
Potential research projects
We welcome enquiries from prospective students in the following areas:
- Electron induced molecular fragmentation by dissociative electron attachment
- Environment assisted/enhanced electron-induced processes
- Multiphoton and strong-filed ionization of small molecules
Current/recent research projects
- Electron and positron collisions with biomolecules and molecules of technological importance
- Hydration effects on resonance formation in electron-molecule collisions
